Macquarie Arms Hotel

Built in 1815,this is (supposedly) Australia's oldest pub - isn't it worth a visit just for that? When you go it's also worth having a feed. The menu is unassuming and deceptively delicious. The steaks are by far the most popular choice. Crumbed lamb cutlets,chicken wellington with its puff pastry,mushroom risotto and a hearty provencale on grilled perch are all worth ordering. Portions are huge. A local lady comes in especially to make the bread-and-butter pudding. Wine choices by the glass are limited,so buy a bottle or stick with beer. Live rock'n'roll bands play here on Saturday nights.
